The Institute for Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery is NYM's program for the prevention,
diagnosis, and treatment of all types of heart disease. The heart surgery team at
the New York Methodist-Cornell Heart Center comes from the world-renowned Weill
Cornell Medical Center at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
The Institute maintains a roster of Hospital-based and private practice cardiologists
who are specially trained in the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of heart
disease. Non-invasive cardiologists provide expertise in the detection and medical
treatment of heart disease. Interventional cardiologists are skilled in procedures
that restore blood flow to the heart. Electrophysiologists specialize in evaluating
and treating patients with complex heart rhythm disorders.
Referrals to these specialists or to cardiac programs and services available at
the Hospital can be made through a patient’s primary care physician or can be requested
through the Institute's doctor referral service by calling 1.866.84.HEART.
